Hi Zhang yu and Daniel
thank you so much for this invaluable information, I will make it available for discussion in other groups, it seems a monumental shift in anatomical, physilogical thinking and teaching is required across many professions :)

Child Tuina while different in application from General Tuina, it uses diagnosis and some prescription of TCM. Dr.Zhang did I understand this correctly, if not please correct me.

Stephen, from what I witnessed at Dr. Zhang's clinic she and her Mother are manipulating the Qi in the youngsters' bodies through very light touch on fingers, palm and forearm of the left hand. These are strokes toward the body or outward to increase or decrease the Qi. They are done repeatedly for a time and repeated over days. If the fascia is involved it would be interesting how such manipulation can change organ condition.

Xiao Er Tuina is different from other TCM because it works on the undeveloped meridians of infants and children and is used for every type of ailment. Is the fascia system fully developed at birth?

In the link http://www.med126.com/yingyu/tcmyy/zhenjiu/ you will find the English articles by clicking the navigation link on the second line of links first from the left. It reads 中医英语.

Dr. Zhang, these articles explain TCM meridians and Qi but do not make any clear reference to fascia 筋膜　that I find. Are there any internet studies by Dr. Yuan Lin or others that might be translated to English that demonstrate a relationship between meridians and fascia? It would be interesting if the meridians follow or have a relationship to lines or configuration of the fascia. In the USA the study of fascia is very new and quickly has added to the understanding of the body.

I found this in the Chinese medical dictionary.

筋膜　　
筋膜位于肌肉的表面，分为浅筋膜和深筋膜两种。 　　
1）浅筋膜 位于皮下，又称皮下筋膜，由疏松结缔组织构成，其内含有脂肪、浅静脉、皮神经以及浅淋巴结和淋巴管等。脂肪的多少因身体部位、性别和营养状况不同。临床常作的皮下注射，即将药液注入浅筋膜内。 　　2）深筋膜 位于浅筋膜深面，又称固有筋膜，由致密结缔组织构成，遍于全身且互相连续。深筋膜包被肌或肌群、腺体、大血管和神经等形成筋膜鞘。四肢的深筋膜。伸入肌群之间与骨相连，分隔肌群，称肌间隔。 　　
筋膜 　　
解剖结构名。指肌肉的坚韧部分。附于骨节者为筋，包于肌腱外者为膜。是联络关节、肌肉，主司运动的组织。为肝所主，并赖肝血的滋养。《素问·痿论》：“肝主身之筋膜。” 1 is superficial fascia and 2 is deep fascia as my bing translator gives it from the medical dictionary.

Compartment Syndrome uses fascia in the Chinese word for it.
Which I find interesting 筋膜间隔区综合征. The word directly translated would be syndrome of the fascial interval, I believe.
科技名词定义
中文名称：筋膜间隔区综合征 英文名称：syndrome of aponeurotic space 定义：肌间隔内压力增高而造成间隔内血循环、肌肉、神经等重要组织结构的功能障碍，组织坏死的综合征。 所属学科： 中医药学（一级学科） ；骨伤科疾病（二级学科） ；扭挫伤（三级学科） 本内容由全国科学技术名词审定委员会审定公布
百科名片
筋膜间隔区综合征，英文名：compartmentsyndrome，别 名：间隔综合征；筋膜间隙综合征。筋膜间隙综合征(compartmentsyndrome，CS)系肢体创伤后发生在四肢特定的筋膜间隙内的进行性病变，即由于间隙内容物的增加，压力增高，致间隙内容物主要是肌肉与神经干发生进行性缺血坏死。
The word directly translated would be syndrome of the fascial interval, I believe.
The dictionary provides three and a half pages of fascia terms. These are mostly specific fascia related to organs and muscles.

Stephen, I found this thread online fascinating http://www.ttem.org/forum/index.php?topic=1807.10

Some such as Professor Dr. Yuan Lin, from Guangzhou have been investigating the anatomical existance of meridians and acupoints. He concludes that the fascial network of the human body was the anatomical basis. He now proposes to study the fascia network - what he calls the supporting and storing system - in new discipline named fasciaology.

I wonder if there are more researching in this direction. Perhaps Dr. Zhang knows of such research in China, as well as the status of fascia in TCM.

Hi Zhang Yu Please may I ask this question ?
Previously the importance of fascia had been totally overlooked. Now here in the West we have had a huge renewed interest in fascia, its bodywide connections and nerve activity. It's now thought possible, fascia may offer a pathway for explanation for accupuncture meridian's, reflexology etc. (the missing link for science and research)
Is there any excitment in China, re fascia as missing link or have your anatomists already established a working knowlege of its function?
